workplace flexibility
Adjustable work arrangements
Workplace flexibility refers to arrangements that give employees control over when, where, or how they work.
This includes remote work options, flexible hours, compressed workweeks, or job-sharing.
The term gained prominence as companies moved away from rigid nine-to-five schedules: She took the job because of the workplace flexibility.
Often shortened to just flexibility in employment contexts.
